Cork SAC: Film Screening of Who Needs Anemones?

Join Us for the Film Screening of Who Needs Anemones in University College Cork Boole Basement 1

Who Needs Anemones? follows the story of scuba divers from both sides of the Irish border on their journey to becoming citizen scientists. Through the SeaSearch Observer training and ongoing survey dives, this growing community of underwater surveyors is eager to contribute to the protection of their marine environment by collecting underwater data for biodiversity databases.

Filmed in and around Carlingford Lough, a sea inlet on the east coast of Ireland spanning the border between the Republic and Northern Ireland, the film explores the divers’ personal stories and shared passion for diving and ‘giving something back’. The lough’s colourful eye-opening marine life is showcased through stunning images taken by the divers themselves.

There will also be a Q&A session with the filmaker Lia Philcox.

Refreshments will be provided!
